Subject: Re: Best way to skip tests

Dan;

How about something like this?  Syntax could probably be cleaned up a bit:

    class Test::Unit::TestCase
      def self.skip_tests(opts, &tests)
        if opts[:if].call
          module_eval &tests
        else
          $stderr.puts "** #{opts[:msg]} -- skipped **"
        end
      end
    end

Then you can just call it to skip your tests.

    class TC_Foo < Test::Unit::TestCase
      def test_everywhere
        assert true
      end

      module Foo
        Bar = 42
      end

      skip_tests(
        :if  => lambda { ENV['WINDOZE'] },
        :msg => "Ballmer eats babies =)"
      ) do
        def test_bar
          assert_equal(42, Foo::Bar)
        end
      end
    end
